WOMEN, DON’T LEAVE THE KEYS PLEASE! Jo Ellen Stevens

I remember, many years ago,  walking down the road and praying in  frustration, “God, it isn’t fair! You are asking me to do things that I cannot do!” I did not yet understand the ways of God.


He always asks us to do things that, in ourselves, we cannot do. He chooses the “unlikely to do great things.” At the birth of  Jesus, we see this in a powerful way.


Jesus came out of a despised land! 


The people of Galilee were considered socially and morally inferior, yet Jesus identified with them. When Philip found Jesus, he said, “We have found the one that Moses wrote about in the law and about whom the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nazareth! Can anything good come from there, Nathaniel asked?” (John 1:45, 46)


Jesus was born in a manger! He was not born in a  kingly palace, but a place where animals lived.


Jesus was visited by the lowly shepherds! Jesus first visitors were not religious or political leaders. His first visitors were a group of people that were on the same social level as tax collectors. Shepherds were marginalized by society of that day, yet 

I had a dream that I was escorted by some people into the back of this old church that was a type of denomination that I won’t mention here. Just know that this church represented the spirit of religion in every sense of the word!


In the dream, I began to explore every part of this building, it’s hiding places, crawl spaces and even higher places. Finally, I came down to the main floor of this place and went into the main sanctuary from the back entrance also. ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THIS “CHURCH” WERE VERY DARK AND VERY DUSTY. (note that dust represents men’s flesh)


I looked up in the dream and saw the front of the church and there were two double doors. (In the past double doors in my dreams have always indicated destiny.) The doors were locked from the inside. I SUDDENLY SAW ONE OF THE DOORS CRACK OPEN AND A BRIGHT LIGHT WHICH LIT THE SANCTUARY ENOUGH SO THAT I COULD SEE MY WAY OUT BECAME VISIBLE TO ME!


I began to run toward the door but as I went I held onto the pews on either side! As I touched each one I could feel the presence of the religious spirits but also felt a sadness as I left, as if the people who had been there in the past were abused by it. These pews were also covered with dust! I felt that there were many spirits surrounding me as I ran through to get to the light!


When I got outside, the church was high on a hill above a highway and my car was parked on the other side of this highway. (Cars always represent ministries for the most part.) This highway was not wide but narrow. I ran down the hill with fear and trembling, but as I spotted my car, I realized that the keys to my car were left behind in the now...
